Forever Faithful is my Lord

My Buddy and I through the reflection of a sunglass lens

I am so thankful that the the Lord is always faithful!  I got to see a dear friend who was deployed in Afghanistan and now home today.  It was so wonderful to see him home and looking healthy and strong.  We had fun hanging out together.  We passed our time by eating at Cracker Barrel, playing video games, and talking about his time in the middle east.  It was so delightful to see him face to face instead of only being able to communicate occasionally through Facebook.  It truly reminded me of how faithful Jesus is to protect His sheep.

Once my friend left, I spent the rest of my evening working on music for our service tomorrow.  Though I had picked out the songs, I was unsettled with the order and arrangement of the songs.  My wife and I worked on each piece together and made quite a bit of progress but I still was not satisfied with the song order.  God was so faithful to give me a call from a dear friend who informed me that she had been praying for Mel and I for two days.  He lifted my heart greatly and helped give me peace and assurance through receiving the call.  My friend prayed a wonderful prayer for us and helped us to drop our worries for the service tomorrow.

After getting off with my friend, my wife and I choose to take a break and eat some food.  It was so wonderful to truly relax for the first time today.  I enjoyed watching a show on the television while we ate and went back to the music afterward.  When I revisited the music, the Lord showed me how the order should go tomorrow.  I ran through the songs a couple times with my wife and I believe we are both at peace with the order of service for tomorrow.

I write all of this to confirm in your hearts that Jesus is so faithful to work in each of our lives.  All we have to do is fully trust in Him for guidance and direction.  Jesus is even working in each of our lives in unseen ways like my friend who had been praying for us for days because the Lord laid us on her heart.  If your struggling with something right now, I hope you will lay it at the Lord's feet and let Him do a great work in your life.  Take time to remember the Lord's faithfulness today by checking out this website: Encouraging Bible Verses.
